To accomodate working professionals with full-time work commitments, classes are held in the evening. The typical class schedule and timings are as follows:

Thursdays 6.30 pm to 8.30 pm
Fridays 6.30 pm to 8.30 pm

On occasion, classes are extended or arranged on other days particularly during assignment submission periods. It is also usual for students to arrange group study sessions at the institute during agreed times.

In the average semester (there are 3 semesters per year in the USQ system), the total class time per course can therefore vary from 24-30 contact hours depending on the course and the specific needs of the group.
